Chapter 224 Secret plan, Guangfu Daily and Coke Company

Guangfu Daily.

This is a newspaper that was founded not long ago, but its experience is legendary. In just a few months, it rose like a comet, its circulation soared, and now it has grown into one of the top ten newspapers in the country. The growth rate is amazing. .

"Guangfu Daily" is divided into three sections: news section, current commentary section and novel section.

The first thing to break out of the siege and make Guangfu Daily stand out among the many newspapers and periodicals with an increasing number of newspapers and fierce competition day by day is its novel section.

From the first day it was launched, "Guangfu Daily" has serialized two novels, both of which are large, one with the theme of revenge and the other with the theme of big family fights.

how to say?

The two novels are completely different from the popular novels on the market. The twists and turns of the plots and the complicated relationships have completely subverted the current people's impression of the novels.

There will be an astonishing reversal almost every few hundred words. The amount of information is astonishingly dense and the reversal is so arresting that it completely grabs the readers' heartstrings and makes them want to stop and keep them awake at night.

Although some literati soon published articles in other newspapers and periodicals criticizing the novels of "Guangfu Daily" for being vulgar and cynical and degrading to gentle people, they could not stop the people from liking them!

Thanks to word of mouth, the first issue of "Guangfu Daily" Hairstyles became quite popular, and it was reprinted and reprinted later.

Readers buy newspapers not to read the news nor the current reviews, but just to read the novels.

Of course, this is a follow-up.

The next day, the second issue of "Guangfu Daily" was released. This time it contained two novels with different themes, but they were equally gripping.

Then the third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh days were serialized in a one-week cycle. A total of fourteen novels were not the same, which quickly opened up the market.

While waiting for the novel to be published, readers felt itchy and scratching their hearts. Once the day came for the novel to be published, they immediately bought the newspaper and rushed to tell everyone about it.

After reading it for the first time, I immediately discussed it with fellow readers.

Reading novels serialized in Guangfu Daily suddenly became a new trend among Tianxia city residents.

Fourteen novels, there is always one suitable for you.

Riding on the momentum of the novel, "Guangfu Daily" quickly opened up its situation, with its circulation increasing day by day and its popularity increasing day by day.

Then, someone soon discovered that Guangfu Daily was not only eye-catching with its novels, but also had amazing capabilities.

Its current review section... turns out to be equally good.

Writers with different styles comment on current affairs, and each article has unique insights. Some use spicy words, some are humorous, and all of them are full of laughter and curses.

Gradually, the current commentary section of "Guangfu Daily" also gained many fans. Although most of the people who bought the newspaper came for the novels serialized on it, in terms of influence, the current commentary section was higher.

The above pen names are already quite famous, and every time they publish a current commentary, they can stir up a lot of public opinion.

Compared with the novel section and the current commentary section, the news section of "Guangfu Daily" is the least conspicuous, and it is just a standard news report.

What it reports is also available in other newspapers.

At No. 84 Wutong Lane, Li Yangwu and his wife were having breakfast, which consisted of meat buns and vegetable buns, two bowls of white porridge with pickles, two bowls of salty soy milk, and a small plate of spicy dried fish pickled by his wife.

He is one of the writers of the commentary section of Guangfu Daily. He was hired by Guangfu Daily from other newspapers at a great expense. He has several pen names, each with a different writing style, and he is quite famous.

However, thanks to the increasing circulation of "Guangfu Daily", his pen name, which is exclusively used for "Guangfu Daily", is now the most famous among several pen names.

"Mr. Li, leave quickly, the government people are coming to arrest you!"

Suddenly, a person ran in at the door in a panic.

"Clean up and leave quickly."

Li Yangwu seemed to be very experienced in this and immediately stood up and said to his wife.

Without saying anything, my wife put down her chopsticks and walked to the room.

The couple picked up their luggage as quickly as possible and left through the back door together with the person who came to inform them.

"What's going on? How do the government people know I live here?"

The person who came to report the news looked anxious.

"Oh, I don't know how those officials knew your true identity and address, Mr. Li. If our newspaper people in the government hadn't tipped off the news in advance, we wouldn't have known you were arrested."

"Oh, that article a few days ago should not have been published."

"It doesn't matter," Li Yangwu waved his hand, "Even if he is caught, he will only go to jail for a few days. It is not a big deal."

Suddenly there was a commotion ahead.

"Oops! The security team is here! Come this way!"

The face of the person who came to report the news changed, and he pulled Li Yangwu and his wife to hide in the alley on the side. Two black shadows fell down and blocked the alley.

They were two tall and stern figures, wearing ink-colored feathers, with a blue sheen visible in the sunlight. They held rapiers in one hand and round shields in the other.

This is a magpie spirit, but unlike the stereotyped magpie that represents happy events and good luck, the magpie spirit exudes a cold aura all over its body, like a cold and ruthless killer.

The person who reported the news paused, grabbed the hands of Li Yangwu and his wife, and tried to escape to the alley in the other direction, but did not pull.

Li Yangwu grabbed his hand and patted it twice, as if to appease and comfort him.

"I can't run away."

From the direction where the commotion came, a team of security guards rushed over. Along with the security guards were the Kingsguard and Iron Eagle Warriors.

It has to be said that the central government is indeed a central government, and the strength of its subordinates cannot be compared to that of the warlords. Even the top warlords are not as powerful as the central government.

In addition, Donghai City is Tianxia's leading big city, so the configuration of the security team is completely different from that of Hongdong County. It is just a small team with such combat power.

Li Yangwu looked at the person coming.

There are many writers in "Guangfu Daily" who use spicy words and are accustomed to sarcasm, but he is the most unscrupulous and cruel among them.

Therefore, he is also the most hated.

Being arrested and imprisoned is not a common occurrence, but it is by no means unfamiliar.

In fact, he is also an Apocalypse, but he is only a third-level Confucian scholar. He may be able to deal with ordinary people, but he wants to deal with the security team?It's too far off. I have some heroic spirits contracted with me, but...

Li Yangwu glanced at the enemy's lineup.

Forget it, don't take any chances.

At most, he would be detained for a period of time.

In today's era, it has only been a few years since the imperial power was overthrown. It is a time when social unrest and various ideological trends are surging. It is also a time when the people of Tianxia are most disgusted and resistant to Yiyantang - it was not easy to remove the emperor from the Dragon Palace of Jinluan Palace. The chair overturned, "Why, you want to be the emperor again, don't you?"

Therefore, those in power have some scruples about persecuting intellectuals and people with a certain reputation. They do not just kill them whenever they want, or do whatever they want.

In addition, the cultural people have no soldiers in their hands, so they do not pose a real threat.

Therefore, those in power will rarely actually kill a cultural person, especially a very famous cultural person - that would be disrespectful to the world.

If you really dare to do this, just wait for the cultural circles to attack!

Don’t think that a pen can’t kill people!
Li Yangwu was both an educated person and a well-known person, so although he was arrested several times and had to eat in prison several times, he was finally released smoothly.

Some were released by those in authority on their own initiative, while others were rescued by friends.

In addition to not sleeping well, he wasn't even starved, let alone tortured.

Therefore, even though he had just caught the current central government doing cowardly things and scolded him a few days ago, Li Yangwu didn't pay much attention, and his expression was calm and firm.

Perhaps because she has experienced similar things a lot, Li Yangwu's wife behaved relatively calmly.

"Neyan, right? Come with us."

The security captain opposite glanced at Li Yangwu and waved his hand, asking his men to come forward and arrest him.Li Yangwu frowned and thought.

A bamboo-green figure stood in front of the three people, which caused the security guards to stop immediately and show a vigilant posture.

The bamboo spirit is holding a bamboo flute, with three taels of bamboo leaves flying around its body, preparing to attack.

Although he was arrested several times before, the people who came to arrest him were basically polite and called him "Mr. Yangwu". But this time, the security captain's attitude was completely different. Son.

Li Yangwu keenly felt something was wrong.

"Excuse me, what have I done to arrest me?"

"Don't you know what you published in Guangfu Daily? Shouldn't you be arrested for making irresponsible remarks on policies and slandering the government?"

"Mr. Sheriff, what was the first sentence you just said? 'Neyan, right?'. If I'm not mistaken, the person you want to arrest is called 'Neyan', right?"

The security captain opposite had already guessed what Li Yangwu was going to say, and his expression changed.

"But if you want to arrest Ne Yan, what does it have to do with me, Li Yangwu?"

Li Yangwu's face became more and more serious as he spoke.

"You security team are too lawless! Ne Yan is so right. If you show off your power, you won't know the surname of your ancestors!"

"You--" the security captain said angrily, "Stop talking to me! You know whether you wrote the article or not! Let me tell you, if you dare to resist, don't blame me for being rude!"

The heroic spirits of the security team prepared to step forward to arrest them. The sound of bamboo flutes sounded out of thin air, and the bamboo spirits were ready to attack.

"If you want to arrest me, you can! First prove that I, Li Yangwu, and Ne Yan are the same person! Otherwise - it's absolutely impossible!"

The security captain had an angry look on his face.

"You know the law and break the law, and you resist arrest. You know the law and break the law, and your crime will be increased! Do it!"

The iron armor was clanging, and the Iron Eagle warrior stepped forward, followed closely by the Royal Forest Guards. Two magpie spirits held a sword in one hand and a shield in the other and stepped forward quickly.

On the ground, green light flashed, and the bamboo spirit's attack was hidden and ready to go.

Li Yangwu grabbed the wrists of his wife and newspaper staff with both hands, preparing to break out.

"What happened?"

A young voice sounded, and a young man got out of the officer's car.

The young man looked very young, wearing a uniform, as gentle as jade but with a hidden heroic spirit.

Li Yangwu and the security guards quickly glanced at the young man's epaulettes, feeling surprised in their hearts.

"Sir, we are arresting the prisoner."

"Arrest the prisoner?" The young man looked interested, "What specific case is it?"

The security captain's heart flashed with irritation and impatience, but due to the young man's rank, he suppressed it and spoke in a good voice.

The young man was naturally fascinated by Shen Guanye. He pretended to be very interested and listened to the security captain's narration, showing a look of disapproval.

"Is the Sheriff's Department so rough now?"

The security captain looked at Shen Guanye's young face and listened to his instructive tone. He really wanted to punch him in the face.

How dare a young boy tell me how to do things?

Is the Public Security Bureau so rough now?

Have you ever seen how the Sheriff's Department used to do things?I'm afraid you won't even have all your hair at that time!
Shen Guanye glanced at Li Yangwu.

"Mr. Yangwu is right. You have no evidence to prove that he and Mr. Neyan are the same person. How can you arrest people randomly?"

"Besides, 'don't blame someone with their words.' When will the government be able to arrest people just because of their speech?"

"Is this really what the Public Security Bureau means? How can someone as prestigious as Mr. Yanggo be arrested casually? I think this may be a misunderstanding. How about I talk to your director?"

The security officers looked at each other, their chief was no ordinary person.

As one of the largest cities in Tianxia, ​​Donghai City has a very high status. The Donghai City Public Security Bureau is naturally different from the public security bureaus of ordinary cities. The director of the Donghai City Public Security Bureau can definitely be regarded as a high-ranking official.

They are just a small security team under the Donghai City Public Security Bureau. They are thousands of miles away from the director, and they can't even see each other. What is the identity of this young man?He opened his mouth and said, "How about I talk to your director?"
"Sir, who are you?"

The security captain even suppressed the irritability and impatience in his heart, and he asked with a little caution.

"I am the squadron leader of the Donghai Office, and my surname is Shen."

"It turns out to be Captain Shen. What you said makes sense. It's probably a mistake. I'll ask again when I get back."

"Well," Shen Guanye deliberately exuded a fatherly vibe, "Be careful when arresting people. You won't lose much if you arrest people casually. It will be a disaster for the people. Do you understand?"

The old-fashioned tone made the captain want to clench his fists, but he had to hold it back. After all, he was someone who could really talk to their director, and his status was much higher than him.

Shen Guanye nodded towards Li Yangwu and the others, and then sat back in the car.

Although he is a member of the Bilong Clan, nominally speaking, the Bilong Clan also belongs to the central government, doesn't it?

If it were a normal dynasty, he should actually be a talent of the central government. Otherwise, why would the central government give him the frost-killed soldiers in the first place?
In fact, after the battle in Canglang City, after he revealed that he was a top professional, the central government secretly sent someone to contact him and asked him if he was willing to change his family.

Shen Guanye declined. He expressed his desire to serve the central government and contribute to the unification of Tianxia, ​​but he also frankly told the other party that it was not the time for him to leave the Bilong Clan yet.

Therefore, although he declined the offer, his relationship with the central government did not end on bad terms.

Back to the present, because the Bilong Clan also nominally belongs to the central government, the levels of the two are interconnected.

He is already considered a quasi-high-level person in the Bilong Clan. Compared with others, his level in the central government is naturally not low. His words are naturally effective for the security team.

After all, in terms of level, he is on the same level as the leader of the other party.

Li Yangwu published an article criticizing the government. It is not a small thing, but it is not a big thing. If he said it, I believe the Donghai Public Security Bureau would be willing to give him some face.

As for why he should be nosy?

Of course it’s because Guangfu Daily is his property!
He has long realized the importance of public opinion. After having money and resources, how could he not want to occupy this territory?

And he has the experience of being influenced by the Internet information explosion in later generations. If he misses something, he can beat the contemporary generation.

Whether it was the novels that attracted large numbers of people in Tianxia and couldn't stop thinking about food or tea, or the overall strategy for the development of the newspaper, he controlled it from behind.

As a top troll, Li Yangwu has extremely strong fighting ability and is an excellent employee of the newspaper. Of course, he cannot just sit back and watch the other party be caught.

In the back seat of the car, Shen Guanye picked up a copy of Guangfu Daily and flipped through it. In a prominent corner, the Coca-Cola advertisement attracted special attention.

That’s right, as a money-attracting machine in the future, the carbonated beverage plan has been launched as scheduled.

Don't think this is just a small profit. How much money can you make from selling so much drink?In the original time and space, Coca-Cola was one of the top [-] companies in the world!
There are even more billionaires born in the beverage field.

Not to mention the invisible cultural invasion behind Coke’s global popularity.

For Shen Guanye, founding a carbonated beverage company is by no means a casual move, let alone a trivial matter, but a very important part of strategic planning.

In the future, Tianxia will rise again, and this company will still be able to play a significant role.

Why is the name "Coca-Cola" still used?
First of all, since the name has been successful in the original time and space, and has become popular all over the world after hundreds of years, of course we must "seize" other people's successful experience!
Go the way of others, let others have no way to go!
Secondly, he didn't start the company mainly to make money from the people of Tianxia. He wanted to make money from foreigners. Of course, he had to choose a name that could easily enter the foreign market.

To sum up, directly "seizing" the name Coca-Cola is the best choice!

And he has heard about the history of Pepsi-Cola. As long as he is around, there will be no Pepsi-Cola in this world. His company will monopolize the "Cola" market.

Fortunately, this world has many details that are different from the original time and space. The original time and space gave birth to the Coca-Cola Company at the end of the 19th century. In this world, a world war has occurred once, and carbonated drinks have not yet been born.

Otherwise, it really wouldn't be his turn to pick up this big leak.
